Black Bean Burger by Carolinaheartstrings

In an effort to eat healthier in the New Year, I decided to try my hand at making a black bean burger. Not too bad. I liked it a lot and this particular recipe can be spiced up or down depending on your own individual taste. I used ingredients and spices that I had in my pantry so this recipe can just be a starting point idea for…

Shrimp Pita with Avocado Dressing by Carolinaheartstrings

We love shrimp at Carolina HeartStrings and Alessa and I both decided to create a wonderful sandwich using this favorite. Alessa’s shrimp and pimento cheese sandwich on Monday looked so yummy. It inspired me to pull the shrimp out of the freezer and whip up a quick tasty treat for lunch. This would be wonderful on a bed of…

Pumpkin Fried Rice by Carolinaheartstrings

A few weeks ago I fixed Farm Diva’s Chicken Fried Rice recipe for dinner. It was delicious and with a Lowcountry sweetie that was raised up on rice I had made more rice than I needed in her recipe. The leftover white rice sat in the fridge for a day or two and then one evening in a desperate-for-a-side-dish mode I looked in the…

Fish Tacos with Diablo Sauce by Cindy McNamara

I prefer my fish tacos with sauteed not deep fried fish. The key for this recipe is the sauce, which can be as hot or mild as you prefer.

Wild Rice Pilaf with Fresh Vegetables by Jane Evans Bonacci

Did you know that wild rice is not rice at all but grass? It grows in areas of shallow water, so prevalent in the state of Minnesota that it is the official state grain. Surprisingly the Central Valley of California is the other main producer of wild rice. It is naturally gluten-free and high in protein, potassium, B-complex vitamins,…

Shrimp Tacos by The Enthusiastic Eater

This light and healthy dinner is easy and quick to make, even midweek! Top the lemon garlic shrimp with whatever you like. I often use shredded cabbage and homemade guacamole but mango, pineapple, or corn salsa would be tasty, too!
